Formula 1 Tyres and the boring attitude of the teams

Double de clutch - last time I had to do that was on my HGV test 8 gears, twin splitter, start in first drive a short distance in every gear - get to top and do the same back down. Truck was an 8 wheel Scammel - no power clutch, no servos, no synchromesh - it was a cable clutch
After 16 gear changes I couldn't walk!

And then the Americans come out with this...

Other than looking like it was designed by a combination of a 9-year old enthusiast and someone who got sacked from Bristol Motors for being too over-the-top, it's the future.

There's a fair few bits of well known designs making up that car..!!

Looks like they got a deal on the (old) old TVR moulds!

That car was designed by the late great Peter Brock and Shelby as the Daytona coupe. You can by it as a rolling chassis/body or complete with ford race engines. Obviously these guys thought it would be cool to take the cool out the the car by making it silent!

I doubt it would be silent, lots of burnt rubber, bit like listening to a Porsche compared to a GTS on full song.

A car needs a soundtrack, otherwise it could be a mobility scooter..!!

Looks like talk of punishment has brought Max out from under his rock again...rambling on about it should be behind closed doors...in private...maybe a soundproofed room with lots of leather and German accents...
